JUDGMENT
(Dated this the 3rd day of February 2025) [OP(C) Nos.2145/2024 and 2143/2024]
The petitioners in O.P.(C) No.2145 of 2024
are the judgment debtors in E.P.No.56 of 2022 in
O.S.No.41 of 2020 and the petitioner in O.P.©
No.2143 of 2024 is the judgment debtor in
E.P.No.55 of 2022 in O.S.No.47 of 2019 on the
files of Sub Court, Sulthan Bathery.
2. The suits were filed by the respondents
for specific performance or in the alternative, for
refund of part consideration amount. The matter
was subsequently settled in mediation and
agreements were signed by the parties. The suits
were decreed in terms of agreement entered into by
2025:KER:8831 the parties. Due to financial difficulties, the
petitioners could not p a y o f f t h e l i a b i l i t y i n
time as per the mediation agreement and the
respondents proceeded against the petitioners.
Even though the petitioners challenged the
proclamation of sale produced by the respondents
in execution proceedings, proclamation and sale of
immovable property was ordered by the Sub Judge.
In the said circumstances, the petitioners filed these
O.P.(C)s with the following prayers:
"(i) to call for the records leading to Exhibit P-2, P-3 & P5 and to set aside the execution proceedings pursuant to the same;
(ii) to direct the court below to reconsider the request of the petitioner to grant opportunity for affordable installment payment for clearing the dues."
2025:KER:8831
3. The learned counsel for the petitioners
seeks indulgence of this Court to grant instalments
to wipe out the liability.
4. The counsel for the respondents, on
instructions, submits that the outstanding
amount i n E . P . N o . 5 6 o f 2 0 2 2 comes to
Rs.43,74,000/- and in E.P.No.55 of 2022 it is
Rs.37,96,000/-, thus the total outstanding
amount is Rs.81,70,000/-.
Having heard the counsel for the petitioners
as well as the Counsel for the respondents, I deem
it appropriate to dispose of the Original Petitions as
follows:
i) The petitioners shall pay the remaining outstanding amount of Rs.81,70,000/- (Rupees eighty one lakh and seventy thousand only) in 15 equal
2025:KER:8831 monthly instalments.
(ii) The first instalment is to be paid on or before
05.03.2025 and the remaining 14 instalments on or before the 5th day of each succeeding month.
(iii) In case of failure to make payment of any of the instalments as directed above, the Execution court shall proceed against the petitioners in accordance with the law to realize its dues.
(iv) Till such time, all execution proceedings shall be deferred.
